Reborn Bao Guowei, I really didn’t want to be a great writer!

Chapter 271 Short story? Bao Guowei's new work!
Can Bao Guowei be called a literary giant of his generation?
In the past, despite the praise from outsiders, Bao Guowei always maintained restraint in his heart. As an author who started his career as a copycat, he never felt that he was a real writer from the beginning, let alone a generation. A literary giant.

But as time passed, everything changed.

Relying on the powerful database in his head, Bao Guowei not only has a strong memory, but also has a learning ability that far exceeds that of ordinary people.

While studying under Zhang Taiyan, he was also familiar with various literary works. While "creating" classic works for later generations, he also added something completely different that he hoped to bring to the world.

It can be regarded as Bao Guowei's contribution to his family, country and the world once he traveled through time.

Starting from "I Have a Dream" and then to the realistic novel "Alive", Bao Guowei started to add his own things while creating according to the content of the original work.

To be honest, in a strict sense, "Alive" and "I Have a Dream" are both fan works of later original works.

Not to mention the later "Guns, Germs, and Steel" and "The Godfather", which just relied on the framework of the original work and added their own things to it.

In a sense, Bao Guowei's current level of literary creation is worthy of the title of "young literary giant".

Otherwise, he would not be able to talk eloquently in front of many masters.

But I told myself not to waste my talents, and write more novels that reflect reality and benefit society, instead of pastimes like "The Condor" and "The Godfather".

But Bao Guowei still explained.

Bao Guowei had already received the news from the Times.

"Master, have you thought about how to write the subsequent novel? What should you write about?"

"Mr. Liu Bannong is one of the pioneers of the vernacular movement and the first expert to establish Chinese tones at Peking University. I have read several of his works, and most of them focus on people's livelihood. This gentleman deserves respect."

The older generation of masters always have some limitations in their cognition, but Bao Guowei can feel their tireless care for him.

In response to Zhang Jingchang's requests and concerns, he appeared confident and reassured the other party, but in fact he was also thinking of a countermeasure.

This time, Bao Guowei wanted to write something different.

This is not the first time I have received such a letter. The tone of the letter is mostly gentle, without cursing, and is just out of the care of an elder.

"Reflect reality and inspire the people to move forward."

Bao Guowei did not explain, but threw a dozen of the latest newspapers and magazines into the trash can.

When he saw this sentence, Bao Guowei raised his eyebrows. He naturally knew the meaning of Mr. Liu Bannong's words in the letter.

"Ever since Jinling took action and released the mad dog Chen Dezheng, there are no works on the market that are worthy of attention."

There is even a letter from a loyal reader in the mountains of Ganjiang Province
"Who is this Liu Bannong? I think novels like The Godfather and The Condor are very good. These nerds only write things that are incomprehensible."

"As I just mentioned, the central theme is this."

This sentence comes from a letter from Mr. Liu Bannong, and the mailing address is "Sent from the School of Liberal Arts, National Peking University, No. 55 Beach Back Street."

Cao Yanhai's writing level is just above the level of comprehension, and his cognition represents the cognition of ordinary readers.

Bao Guowei pointed to the words on the letter and said with a smile.

His current influence is indeed impressive.

After hearing Bao Guowei's introduction, Cao Yanhai had a slight change in his view of Liu Bannong, and he couldn't help but curiously asked.

"Ah?" Cao Yanhai touched his big head, obviously not understanding very well.

But it is impossible for foreigners to help them in this matter. Even Americans who like Bao Guowei no longer can do something that is not beneficial to them.

Foreigners are very clear-minded and always put interests first.

Influence in the political world? Mayor Zhang Qun indeed praised him very much, and even left his contact information for Bao Guowei to find him if he had anything to do.

But Bao Guowei cannot be naive and ask Zhang Qun for such a thing.

He knew very well that the person standing behind Chen Dezheng was Chang Kaishen, and it was useless to look for Zhang Qun.

As for Chang Kaishen?
This person has always been a man of his word. He once praised his own works, but then started to ban them again. He can be described as a typical double-dealing figure.

So what strength does Bao Guowei have that he can rely on?

After thinking about it, it can only be the power of the vast number of readers and all living beings.

"So I wanted to write a work to awaken everyone's consciousness of struggle!"

Bao Guowei clenched his fists and said.

If we say "Alive", it tells all Chinese people that we have never had any bad qualities. Perseverance and struggle have been the main theme of the Chinese people since ancient times.

So his new book is to tell everyone that only by fighting hard and saying no to the storm of fate can we truly win!

"Okay! That's it! There are so many things on the market now. Many masters who were once admired have been criticized, and their articles have been published in newspapers and magazines." Cao Yanhai has also been concerned about Bao Guowei since he followed him. These masters have understanding.

After knowing the details, he was extremely angry.

"Mr. Zhou Shuren was almost arrested by Chen Dezheng. Fortunately, Master, you arranged for him to live in the concession.

And Mr. Lin Yutang, like Mr. Zhou Shuren, has been criticized a lot in newspapers, and now there is a mob blocking his door.

And Hu Shi."

Cao Yanhai gritted his teeth, as if he wanted to crush the mastermind behind the scenes. "Hey, anyone with a discerning eye can see what inspired the writers who criticized him in newspapers and the thugs who tried to attack Mr. Lin.

Especially this Zhang Zhiping, writing about ugly Chinese people is simply stupid! "

Thinking of helping Bao Guowei read newspapers and magazines in advance, he almost wanted to tear the newspaper into pieces after reading this article. "

"And the national government, while banning patriotic writers who reflect reality, ignores these slanderous remarks, it is simply the opposite of Tiangang!"

Cao Yanhai is almost turning into an angry young man these days, seeing injustices all around him.

This was actually the reason why Bao Guowei had to take action, he commented with a hint of sarcasm.

"Smearing the Chinese people has never been a problem for them. They will only deal with the parts that harm their own interests. As for the life and death of ordinary people, it has never been the most important thing to the compradors in the government."

"Okay! Master! Write faster! Write another "Answer" to unite all readers and let these people see how powerful this torrential trend is."

Cao Yanhai also knows that the movies and plays that Bao Guowei is currently preparing will not be released so soon. On the contrary, literary works may be released faster?
Especially a poem like "Answer" is not only catchy, but also extremely easy to spread.

"Poetry?"

Bao Guowei knew that after "Answer", countless people expected him to write another work that could rival or even surpass "Answer".

However, Bao Guowei has not yet come up with a work that can suit the occasion.

He really couldn't do such a far-fetched thing.

So Bao Guowei shook his head and said: "It's not poetry, it's short stories."

"Short story?" Cao Yanhai was a little surprised. In his impression, Bao Guowei didn't seem to have written any short stories.

The novel "Alive" is nearly 200,000 words long and can be regarded as a novella in literature.

The first volume of the novel "The Godfather" cost nearly 200,000 yuan. There are still many plots to be written later, which is enough to be regarded as a super novel.

It’s not poetry?

Master still wants to write a novel?
"Yes." Bao Guowei nodded and said. "It is estimated to be about 30,000 words. More than 30,000 words is considered a novella. I can't determine the length, so I will tentatively classify it as a short story."

"What's the content?"

Cao Yanhai's eyes shone brightly. Bao Guowei's work must be of high quality. Even a rough guy like him would be willing to watch it.

But this time, Bao Guowei maintained a sense of mystery, shook his head and said.

"Don't worry. When I finish writing, you will be the first to see it. Why are you anxious?"

Bao Guowei could create tens of thousands of words in a week using a typewriter.

However, the creation of this work must not be so hasty. Bao Guowei decided to work slowly and carefully, and launched this work in about a month.

"Master is always good at whetting people's appetites!"

Cao Yanhai curled his lips. Bao Guowei was good at everything, but he had one shortcoming. Whether he was writing novels or anything else, he liked to whet people's appetites.

Could it be an occupational disease?

"That's all, I'm going to practice martial arts in the backyard!"

During this time, Bao Guowei actually taught Cao Yanhai a set of murderous fighting skills. Although he didn't know where Bao Guowei got it, Cao Yanhai never neglected such "martial arts secrets".

But I heard Bao Guowei waving and saying.

"and many more."

"what happened?"

After thinking about it, Bao Guowei ordered.

"Go to the Golden Grand Theater. It is said that our Mr. Kong Lingkan has completely fallen in love with acting. In the past month, you have been going to Cao Yu to ensure that this boy doesn't cause trouble."

Bao Guowei is naturally aware of Kong Lingkan's situation at all times.

Originally, I just wanted to fool the other party. The presence of Kong Lingkan was a means to deal with Chen Dezheng's seizure.

Unexpectedly, this kid actually fell in love with acting.

People often say that life is like a drama. The pleasure brought by this drama of life can no longer satisfy Kong Lingkan.

So he can only seek more excitement in dramas and fictional plots.

Bao Guowei was naturally happy to hear about this situation.

Cao Yanhai sighed, but did not refuse, but still said unconvinced.

"What about you, Master?"

"I?"

Bao Guowei pointed to the study, and then said in a helpless tone.

"I retreated in my room and wrote this short and novella that inspires readers!"
